Closer

Lyrics

Self starter since the age of ten I didn't know I'd have to go down fighting Down this road Again class clown to a corner I was bound a dunce cap wearing. Real God fearin Who never Made a sound I cut my head out of the classroom picture and thought that I was the victor I was blind Now I'm closer to the ideal complexion Closer for my own protection Closer to the edge I never thought that I could be so blind A white shirt plaid tie wearing, child prodigy Two steps from sanity One from the edge A glance away from a face that shatters me As photogenic as a freak Poster boy for the meek Pale face and week God damn, my future looks bleak I cut my head out of the classroom picture and thought that I was the victor I was blind I'm closer to the ideal complexion Closer for my own protection Closer to the edge I never thought that I could be so blind blind
